VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
GazerRise Fantastic!
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Jay Mullings It was a great watch with nice insight into genius at play. Also good to see an environment where real recognised real.
yvesdemaria Great insight on the story of how those guys and how they became who they are and their success.the Dr Dre parts are i thought the most engaging of both and really interesting, full of old original footage as well as nowdays interviews.the Jimmy one started ok but then he constantly complains about things he decided to do (with the only goal of making more money) which becomes really annoying, complaining about this thing and that thing which he himself chose to do, if you dont like raw fish dont go to a sushi restaurant, if you do go then dont complain about it because you are the one who chose to go, this is exactly what Jimmy does in this documentary so his parts were irritating.
cleanpenguin I found the documentary to be very pleasurable to watch, first of all. Gorgeously shot, and of course the soundtrack is incredible. It's almost worth it simply to relive the times and learn more about the men.It's also far from any kind of objective documentary or news piece. They mostly interview people who adore Jimmy & Dre, and negative moments are framed as exceptions or learning experiences. It's not a journalistic documentary as much as a piece made by friends and fans. So long as you're fine with that, if you have any interest in their work in the music business, it's a captivating ride, even if it often comes across as a super well-produced infomercial.
Andi Popescu This was... simply put, the best documentary I have ever, ever seen! There's no other way to define it. I mean, man, where do I start? The editing is... breathtaking! The music... ohhh... what a delight. The way the stories are intertwined. Simply marvelous. You don't have to be into hip-hop to watch this. It is pure history. I'm not much of a reviewer, this is my first one in almost 12 years of IMDb, but I felt like it needed at least ONE review, since it had none at the time I wrote mine.Anyway, if you can, DO watch this! It is incredibly well done and compellingly truthful.
